There have been so many improvements to the AI since r5503 that I look forward to see how quickly I can beat missions in the TSK campaign in this version! Krom and Lewin, I hope that you guys will benefit from taking on this project even more than you currently anticipate!

Hey! Thx for the great work on this game!
Unfortunately, moving campaign.dat from the previous patch didn’t work. Also old saves are incompatible 🙁
I was stuck on TSK20 due to bug in the initial fight and was hoping to continue after this patch but now I have to start over 🙁

Savegames are incompatible, that’s right. Campaign.dat should have worked. Maybe you have used a different path? Try searching for campaign.dat on your disk C: – Win could have placed it into a different folder under your user name path.

Thx for your reply! Nope, didn’t work for me. It worked before patch, when I would move Campaign.dat and see if the progress disappeared and then moved back again, it would reappear. But not with the last patch. Oh well, gonna play new campaigns instead for now 🙂 Happy New year btw!)

Unfortunately that’s a bug in r6720: Campaign progress was not taken from r5503, it was reset 🙁

You can use cheats to skip past missions though. Press F11 on the keyboard, then Debug -> Debug Cheats. Now you can press “V” to win the current mission. Use that to skip to the mission you were up to. When you finished turn off debug cheats and press F11 to hide the overlay so you don’t accidentally press one of the cheat shortcuts while playing.

Hi there!
Great game I must say, but in this release I have some problems I didn’t encounter in r5503.
First: When I start game I have visible taskbar at bottom of the screen, and it prevents me to scrool map by putting mouse at edges of screen. I can either change in resolution form “fullscreen” to “window” and back to “fullscreen”, or I can go to the list of authors and click on links, to activate my browser and then activate KaM Remake, and it finally works in true fullscreen, but this is bothersome.
The second problem was when I tried to load game from main menu saves weren’t showing but instead error appeared. But I changed my WineHQ options from Windows 7 to Windows XP and now it works ok! – If anyone has this second problem of mine try doing as I did. (However in r5503 there was no such problem).
I have Linux Mint 17 with WineHQ 1.6.2.

I’m not sure why that error might be occurring, it’s hard to tell with Wine. Alt-Tab might be enough to fix the taskbar. My only other suggestion is to keep changing the Wine settings to see if that improves it.

I have an issue with campaign Na cizích zemí (O Grayter, Foreign lands?), in the 2nd mission I have killed all enemies, yet I did not win, the game was still on, with nothing left to kill, there is no objective (unless I was supposed to defend myself only, without attacking enemy?)I have spent 3 hours in that mission, not really eager to play it again:S

That’s great update.. multiplayer with friends against AI’s is simply fantastic.
However can you please take a look at TSK’s mission 5? I think it’s way harder than before. You mustn’t lost at least one ally’s lancer but even first enemy’s attack knocks their quantity to let’s say 2 or 3 and even if i support them with my bowmans, i managed to survive second attack but the third one in about 29:00(before i even managed to buid weapon buildings) finally kicked all my remaining troops and then killed the rest of ally’s troops.. and i tried it more times with different tactics.. on youtube ally kills first wave without any noticeable casualties

Which campaign are you referring to? The original campaign “The Shattered Kingdom” or the new fan-made campaign “An Empire Destroyed?”. With An Empire Destroyed, you are supposed to be defeated in the first battle in order to progress.

Saves are not compatible between updates, sorry. You can reinstall the old version (from Download Archives) to a different folder and copy the “Saves” folder there to continue playing them in the old version.

Dear, Levin, help me, new release “War and Peace”, it only needs to buy? and then I downloaded Mirrors and copies of the new release and during installation, it was necessary to have release: peasant uprising, I would sradostyu prioprel, because very hunt to play this wonderful game, but now strained with the money and can not buy. And without release: peasant uprising, vozmozhno whether to install a new release of “War and Peace” Kam Remak r6720? Thanks in advance. Happy New Year to you and all the best to you.

Hi guys, first of all, your work is really amazing! This last update was the one I was waiting more eager!! AI updates are fantastic, and I see many other people were waiting for this too!

I have some points (TSK campaign), nothing special but:
– Mission 8 was reeeeeally hard, the first atack was almost impossible to defend. I searched around the foruns and found about distracting some units with an archer. I don’t think abusing AI should be the right way to win, however. I did it, but from there it became so easy I couldn’t believe.
– Mission 9 was very easy, my biggest problem was space to build, but they almost didn’t atack me. Also I could destroy most towers/buildings with xbows without they coming to defend, unless I atacked some serfs and units in the city.
– I also found old posts about market in campaign, u saying that it could be added from mission around 7-9. I’m at 11 now, did u implement it on any campaign?

thats it, thanks for all ur patience, and also sry for my english. I have something to ask but this post is already big enough 🙂

In the newest release, the script of the 7th mission of Vas’ campaign Federation of Nehryn isn’t working correctly. The initial attack should attempt simultaneously but instead, the west side was attacked and the east side wasn’t. The enemy kept attacking the allied village. And the allied barbarians went on suicide mission at a certain point. The base can’t be defended as a group of horsemen (from the not working assault on the east side at the beginning, I assume) storm it right after and slaughter the xbowmen.

As I do’t know if the fault has to be fixed by the remake creators or by the campaign builder, please inform whoever feels able to fix it. Thank you.

I don’t know if the remake made it worse, but the light brown enemy (in the north) in the 8. TSK mission is even more stuck than in the basic game. Can you optimise his city a bit. In the last playthroughs some of his units died because of being unable to reach the taverne or the storehouse and they have 2 of each. Described in one word: Chaos.

Fast-Forward never ruined the KaM Remake like it did with TPR. The difference is that in TPR FF function broke the games logic by skipping ticks. But KaM Remake FF function is “honest”, it never skips a game logic tick.

You can use F5-F6-F7-F8 to change the game speed to x1-x3-x6-x10 accordingly.

ok guys, i love this game, and i love what your doing with the remake.
however, i have 1 small issue.
i have a copy of KaM historical version from steam.
however, when i try to runt he remake installer, it insists that i do not hav a copy of Kam PR. PR is included in the historical version. so either im doing something wrong, or your installer dosent recignize the steam verson….

yes. even tried running the launcher from the K&M folder. still no dice.
i have noticed though, at 1 time i had a regulart copy of K&M TPR and it had 2 separate launchers, 1 for SK and 1 for TPR, steam however, has 1 launcher labled TPR which you can access SK and TPR from. not sure if this would make a difference though.
and ty for the Quick responce.

That’s strange, nobody else has reported this problem. I have the Steam version of KaM and the KaM Remake installer detects it correctly. Just to check you have the same version: When you launch KaM from steam does it give you this option to choose which version?http://i.imgur.com/xEyumva.png

Please try the following:
– Verify the game cache of Knights and Merchants in Steam (right click on KaM in your games list, properties, local files, verify integrity of game cache)
– Next, launch Knights and Merchants from inside Steam (select “Play Knights and Merchants” not “HD Version”, and exit once you reach the menu.
– Now try running the KaM Remake installer

I tried that here and it created the correct files and registry entries for KaM Remake to detect it. If it still doesn’t work for you I have some other ideas to try.

ok so, i always play the reg version on steem, not the HD version. ive redownloaded the installer for remake everytime i tried. iv tried uninstalling and reinstalling K&M on steam, ive launched the game, and verified files. and i still get the same notice. i think perhaps this evening i will try reinstalling the game to my main partition and see if that helps. it shoulsne be an issues as steam is indexed corectly but w/e.

ok so.. the issue was that i had steam installed in a separate partition. due to that, the launcher couldnt detect the game. so i uninstalled the game, and reinstalled it to the main partition, launched the game, also installed a shortcut to desktop for good measure, and the installer for remake started working. go figure lol.

so for w/e reason it wouldnt detect it on a separate partiton on the same harddrive, even though its indexed. which is odd, as thats the first time ive ever had an issue with an installer not being able to detect something in a separate partition.

That’s strange, I have Steam installed on different drive and it works fine for me, so I guess it’s only a problem for different partitions on the same drive. I’ll keep that suggestion in mind in case somebody else has the same problem.

Hi guys, my wife loves the game and is trying to play the multiplayer mode but is having some difficulty. I have tried installing the remake however it does not seem to recognise that the original game is installed via steam. I have launched the game a couple of times and also tried the solution that has previously been given – verifying the game cache. It still doesn’t recognise that the original game is installed. I was wondering if we have installed the wrong version of the original game? When I launch the game I am not given the option between ‘Play Knights and Merchants’ or ‘HD version’ the game just launches without asking any questions.

Just wanna say that the AI is now a real challenge, love it because I have to think about new strategies and that is what I like so much.

By the way, was playing TSK campagne mission 8, can’t manage to survive the wave of barbarians in the beginning, started to think that they might be overpowered against my armies of Axefighters (15 and 12) and Bowmen (20). Or my strategy doesn’t work, that’s an option too.
